Second Warehouse, a new, free web-based platform designed to make the AV equipment cross-rental process faster and more efficient, has launched at secondwarehouse.com.
The site allows AV companies to build a list of items they need, pick a search area and see a list of potential suppliers, with the involved parties then able to discuss the rental details and price as well as to exchange documents.
“I know how important cross-rental is and also what a time-wasting drag it can be, because I’ve been the guy spending hours on the phone, calling friends in the hope of finding that one bit of gear I need for a show,” states founder and production company veteran Stuart Kerrison. “Second Warehouse solves those headaches and lost hours, while giving your equipment a better chance of being out and earning you money.”
CEO Philip Van Peborgh adds, “For us and everyone in live event production, the last two years have been tough. I’m excited to be rolling Second Warehouse out to an industry that survived multiple lock-downs and is getting back to what they do best, putting on a show. The team has been working on the platform over the past five years with input from production companies in the UK, Europe and the U.S., and I’m certain that the whole pro AV market will soon find it indispensable.”
